Post surgery weirdness
 |

Hey all, I'm at the 5 week post surgery point... Feeling pretty good, but my left insides kinda feel like a brick (heavy/weird) every now and then throughout the day. I assume this is just the healing process??? (The doc removed a 3.5 cm mass from my left kidney). I feel pretty good otherwise. The doc has cleared me to start road biking and swimming -- which I started yesterday (just a light 30 min spin). I was gonna swim (easy) with my masters group tomorrow (saturday). However, the weird feeling have me a bit worried. I know the kidney is gonna take a few more months to heal -- but anyone else notice this sensation post surgery? Rick in Tempe |

Those pains and sensations are quite normal and to be expected for what you have been through. My surgeon told me to look at it like I had been run over by a big Mack truck.
Whether you realize it or not, you are playing a mind game. These things bothered me for over a year and they can be scary as hell. I just got to where I would tell them, you are not real, you are a phantom for, after all , the cancer didn't hurt. In fact I didn't even know I had it. JUst give it time. This mind game is easy to win, once you see it for what it really is.
